Session 4: Prophet Idris (A.S) & the Aakhirah Mindset

This week for halaqah, we went over the story of Prophet Idris (A.S). Like last week, we used a lecture by Sheikh Shady Alsuleiman as our reference. Again, instead of posting our lecture notes, we have posted the video for you. Please see the the video below until the video reaches 27 minutes inshallah. Through this story, you will learn many things. One of the things that you will realize through this video is that us humans may have a plan for ourselves, but the Almighty Allah always has a plan already in place for us.


This week, we also went over time management through a lecture called Akhirah Mindset by Brother Mohammed Mana. Please see below.

Session 3: The Story of Creation & Prophet Adam (A.S)

This week for halaqah, we went over the story of creation and Prophet Adam. Our source for the halaqah content was a lecture by Sheikh Shady Alsuleiman. Instead of placing our notes on the blog this week, we thought it would be more efficient if you watched the lecture inshallah. 

There are so many things that you will learn from this lecture. Adam's creation explains so many aspects of human nature; it is amazing how the characteristics of humans at the time of Adam are still prevalent in our world today.

Something to remember after watching the lecture is that Shaytaan is the enemy of humankind and he will do whatever it takes to lead us astray-- this is his ultimate goal. Remember to resist the influence of Shaytaan everyday-- we cannot let him win. May Allah guide us all and make us of the people of jannah inshallah.
